That's not accurate, it's just more evidence of you cramming these all or nothing ridiculous one liners into people's mouths.

I believe with proper asset management they will be good enough one day.

Spending the majority of a decade trying to find another top pairing defenseman, and then allowing him to walk away for nothing after one season... All for the sake of moderately improving a team which has way to many glaring and obvious issues to hoist a cup this season is completely asinine.

I agree mostly other than Barrie is not a top 2 D man. Very good PP QB & scoring so makes him top 4 on a very good team imo.

The crazy thing is this year, no one has a shot at the Cup. So all the teams should be selling at the deadline. It's going to be very confusing.
- Zezel

I think they will probably just end up handing the cup to the president trophy winners.

Very much disagree. Top 4 defenseman are always at a premium come deadline day. Always. Especially ones which have half of their salary paid and are easy to fit under the cap.

I won't even go there, but just take a second and look up the list of garbage defenseman that have been worth 2nd rounders on deadline day that barely crack rosters the next season.

Brendan smith fetched a 1st plus I think.
- joel878

I wonder why

Well, they're not going to be sellers at the deadline so it's a moot point. You should probably stop watching until next season.
- Zezel

People think it's fun to say buyers and sellers as if there's a strict line between the two. But there isn't, you don't have to be a seller to make a calculated asset management move.

I think there's quite a few playoff teams Barrie could slot into the top 2 on.

Immediately I see Boston thinking that Barrie is an upgrade on McAvoy with Chara...

Every team should just trade their UFA’s for some lottery tickets.

Maybe that 3rd round pick can replace Matthews if he walks.

Every team should sell at the TDL except for Boston and Washington.

Give up while you have the chance. Burn a year off Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Rielly, Andersen deals.

It’s not like they are important anyways. Dime a dozen players.

You're such an over the top dramatic sarcastic bumhole. Lol. Apologies for attempting to have a rational discussion about it, clearly you're not that intellectually capable.

Barrie needs a partner to have his back & always did & will.

Okay, let's say they specifically won't move Barrie at the deadline.

They are just going to hand Washington the cup why would Boston buy?

I think I can speak for everyone on this page right now. Except for the Nuck troll.(deep down he’s laughing too)

We are making fun of your irrational thinking because it’s silly.

The Leafs aren’t selling Barrie. Don’t bother watching the Leafs until next year.

I don't think you speak for anyone, ever.

That's your opinion. Maybe one day you will grow up enough to respect the idea that other people can have them to and that's okay, there doesn't have to be a right or wrong.

Maybe you will also learn to not be a juvenile wiener by then to. 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn't be the first thing on here I've been chewed on by imbeciles like you about that I've turned out to be right about.

Dude.

Read. I’m not the only one

I can’t wait until the offseason for you to use hindsight and say you were right about every team that didn’t win the cup should of sold their UFA’s.

Don’t come on here spewing poop and you won’t get these responses. It’s not rocket science.

Should they trade Matthews now or wait until he’s in the final year and his value drops?

just sits and muches popcorn watching this dog and pony shyte show

Here to talk hockey something that goes over your head. Humouring you with a response is trolling? I’ll leave you to your mindless ramblings & engage with the hockey fans here. Btw I don’t mind if Leafers join our blog to talk hockey. We too have ppl who will name you troll but ignore them for what they are. Always thought outside opinions put things into a better perspective & besides it gets stale seeing the same ppl saying the same thing all the time.

Sell now so they can use the assets to hopefully compete for a cup one day.

It’s so obvious.

Im not saying every team should do anything. It's you who can't stay mature enough for 10 seconds and stop being dramatic enough to make every single thing all or nothing.

I am talking about each situation being unique. Maybe start by trying to wrap your peanut brain around that concept...

Zezel, Seagull and I aren’t mature I guess. I’m fine with that.

Tradez all the UFAz

One day the leafs will have a shot at the cup. Maybe when Matthews walks.(oh right they will trade him as a rental)

That's a strange thing to say, why would we trade Matthews at all?

Oh, you didn't just jam words in my mouth to did you? Hope not, unlike that schmuck I generally find your insight to be pretty good...

Oh god remember Cherry going on about Ritchie
